Turbulent skin friction drag on just region 1 refers to the aerodynamic drag caused by friction between a turbulent flow and the surface of a specific region 1 on an object, such as an airfoil or wing. This drag arises due to the chaotic and irregular motion of the fluid particles in the turbulent flow interacting with the surface of the object.Â
